Drink the Water
by: Heather Latham, April 15, 2009
In a report posted on enjoybottledwater.org, Angela Logomasini, Ph.D. states, “Bottled water regulation is at least as stringent as tap water regulation. Yet a key line of attack against bottled water comes from environmental activists and others who complain that bottled water does not comply with the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] standards for tap water, suggesting that bottled water standards are lower. As a result, they say, bottled water quality may not even be as good a tap water quality. These arguments were outlined in the “study” released by the Natural Resources Defense Council [NRDC] in 1999. However, such arguments don’t mesh with reality.”
Tap water and bottled water fall under two different government jurisdictions, she goes on to explain. Standards for tap water are set by the EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Bottled water standards are set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Logomasini says, “The FDA regulations are based on EPA standards and are mostly the same, with the exception of a few areas where tap water regulations don’t make sense or where the FDA includes additional or more stringent requirements. According to the EPA, both sets of standards produce bottled and tap water that is safe.”
She points out, “There are some cases where the standards vary because of differences between delivery systems. Since tap water travels through pipes, regulations need to address potential contamination from pipes. Sanitary packaging for bottled water means that regulations related to food and food packaging apply to bottled water.”...

Distiller. Only way. Tastes like you’re drinking from a river in Eden.
Mid-20s male? Not as much chest hair growth as you’d expect? Masculine features not what your grandfather’s were at your age?
DISTILLER.
DISTILLER.
Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
what are you on about?
no one said anything about conspiracy, weirdo. estrogens are unregulated. guess what the active ingredient in the pill is. guess what happens to all that. large percentage ends up in YOUR tap water.
Have you never wondered why today’s 20 year old “men” look like children compared to their grandparents?
I guess you’ve never seen Dr Strangelove.
I did suspect there were some movie references there, but no, I’ve never seen Dr. Stranglove, so it read like a flame. If it wasn’t, pls forgive my response.

As for me, I’ve lived on Well Water except for about a year and a half during my mid 20s.
I think part of what you’re talking about is due to nutrition.
I know of real cases that illustrate the point very clearly.
Have you looked at group photos of 20 year old men from 100 years ago recently?
No, it’s really not about nutrition.
Post some examples.
“Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works.”
So that’s where the “precious bodily fluids” thing came from.
Doubt I’ll see the movie. Sounds like pretty standard fayre, ridiculing the notion of a communist conspiracy, the kind of thing that helped to get people like McCarthy out of the way so the left could run Hollywood with a vicious anti-conservative blacklist system.
It’s called propaganda. Lots cleverer than the old Nazi stuff though. Much harder to fight.
Look in your grandfather’s photo album.
My Grandfathers have been dead since the 60s and any photos they may have had certainly didn’t make their way to me.
Certainly you must have an example.
